A Message from Vint Cerf,
Marconi Society Chair
Young Scholar Nominations Now Open
|
Each year, The Marconi Society searches the globe for a diverse group of visionary young people whose work is already having a significant impact on our connected world. These innovators work in areas including software engineering, artificial intelligence, machine learning, information theory, network engineering and quantum communications.
When you
nominate a young innovator
for this award, you give them so much more than a shot at the $5000 prize. This is your chance to recognize people at the beginning of their careers and open up opportunities that might otherwise only come along later or even only once in a lifetime.
Paul Baran Young Scholars are part of a unique and elite group that meets and interacts with distinguished leaders in the field including Robert Kahn, Martin Cooper, Sir David Payne and the other celebrated
Marconi Fellows
.
The Young Scholars form their own powerful cohort of scientists and engineers whose careers are taking off at the world's top universities and businesses.
The Marconi Society Young scholars initiated a growing social impact initiative called the
Celestini Program
, designed to encourage students around the world to use technology to address important local problems.
This award honors your most deserving young researchers by giving them inspiration, recognition and connections that will last for decades.
Nominations are due by June 30, 2018
. We look forward to receiving yours.

The Road Ahead for Wireless:
Dreams and Challenges
By Andrea Goldsmith
Marconi Society Board Member
The Stephen Harris Professor in the School of Engineering, Stanford University
What does the future of wireless look like?
The next generation of wireless networks - 5G and beyond - will support ubiquitous communications between people and devices, including devices we cannot even envision today.
These networks will have much better reach, reliability, and performance than today's networks, and support new applications such as smart homes and cities, autonomous cars, drones, robots and virtual and augmented reality, as well as widespread sensing coupled with massive data computation in the cloud. Realizing this vision will require significant technology advances on both the device and the network side.
